Taught by trained professionals

Today there are many forms of meditation, and pretty much anyone can read two pages on the internet and call himself a “meditation-teacher”.

But this will not bring the experience of transcending. Transcending is a very powerful, but also a very intimate personal experience, and it cannot be learned from a book. The books have always been there, for thousands of years, but nevertheless the experience of transcending has been lost, because there were no teachers left who had the right formula to guide people to this state.

Transcending is a natural experience, but “natural” means something different for every single person. Because everyone is different learning to transcend also requires a detailed personal guidance, at least during the first few sittings. A TM teacher has received an elaborate professional training to guide any person, independent of his state of mind, intellectual background, religion or education, to the state of transcending. Once people have reached this state regularly, after the first 4 days of training, the memory of this experience is ingrained in the mind, and the mind will go there by itself, in a completely effortless, natural and enjoyable manner, as long as people use the correct technqiue, which is also taught over the same 4 days. Then he will be able to practice the technique on his own for the rest of his life, but still it is important that the teacher is there to follow up on his practice, verify regularly that the practice happens correctly, and answer any questions people may have with their experience.

Becoming a Transcendental Meditation teacher, to teach the TM technique correctly, requires an intensive 5 month in residence training. After this training, the TM teacher receives a certification. This certification is the guarantee that he can pass on the TM technique correctly. Only the teachers that are found on this website have this certification. (see where do I learn TM?)

Over de last 40 years, more than 40.000 TM teachers have been trained, but this is currently not sufficient to meet the demand, so we are always inviting more people to take the training to become TM teachers.

All Transcendental Meditation teachers are part of a worldwide non-profit organization, the “Global Country of World Peace”.
